A snowy spring day

Yesterday morning early we looked out of the window to discover it was snowing.
In Spring?
Of course it was.
There were the daffodils about to come out, looking like they had gone into suspended animation.
some crocuses, (I think)

and so we put on our warm clothes when we had to go out
past the snowy trees that reminded me of Christmas all over again.
This is where we worshiped at Christmas over a year ago. Grandma getting over her pneumonia in just four days (after going to the ER for diagnosis and treatment). A Christmas miracle I called it.
Unfortunately all the others caught the bug too. Doesn't this look just like a Christmas tree?

In we go

the park was looking pretty good too...though a little chilly
but very pretty

only a couple of inches of snow







anyone for tennis, perhaps? Or basketball?

Yes, definitely a little chilly if one were wanting to sit around out there
anyone for chess?

Dyckman farmhouse was looking pretty too...
and I was surprised by this lovely bunch of daffodils

just beautiful, even in the snow...
There is always a little beauty out there...sometimes we just have to be patient, or go looking for it...but it is there waiting for us to find it.

I guess that's NY in spring, Annie! I like all the snow-covered benches and the birds who look chilly.

Wow! Fab pictures, Annie! Hope you're keeping warm over there. I can't remember the last time I wore a coat and a scarf... I'm a bit jealous.

There is still some snow here but no flowers yet. It's sort of sad to see the flowers with the cold ice and snow. I hope they will perk up when the weather warms up.
